- Lowell Bergman learned that Westinghouse, the parent company of CBS News, was more interested in protecting the company's assets than in airing a controversial story that he produced for 60 Minutes about a tobacco company.
There should be a statue of Lowell Bergman in the Investigative Journalism Hall of Fame for how he fought to get this story published 👏
A truly courageous man with great integrity. I wiish there were more like him.
The Insider is a modern masterpiece, because of Lowell Bergman's courage in making this story public. Bergman speaks hard truth to power, unsparingly. Every performance in that film is pitch perfect.
That movie is surely an amazing film a memorable one!
It's in my top 10 of all time and so many people have not watched it, or never even heard of it. I watch it annually at least!
4:00 "The corporation will not risk its assets on this story"
2:30 WOwowowowow. One of 8 tobacco execs who were guilty of perjury was son of OWNER
The insider 👏🏻
Why isn't this good man famous? He unsettles all the lesser men who are famous despite their cowardice,complicity and cooperation with the worst power mongers who rise and rise and rise.
Very Important. So sad that censorship is happening. We must have the truth told on Television in America.
2:45 Movie doesn't show "Story was killed before it was even done."
Interesting that Crowe was made to look like Wigand, but Pacino was not made to look like Bergman.
The Insider is a great movie… but I laugh thinking about Pacino meeting Bergman to get to know him for the role, studying Bergman’s mannerisms, then when the filming starts, just playing the normal Al Pacino character
1995: I agree a pivotal year, "the rules have changed." In the film industry too, from that year forward films are made to the least common denominator--nothing to challenge the intellect--just trying to sell the most tickets. I watch 60 Minutes now, and it is obvious they want 3rd grade children to enjoy and understand every word said. Nothing is critical, nothing can draw a lawsuit. All interviews are for entertainment value with the goal of having you walk away from the TV feeling good about yourself and about the World. But I loved watching 60 Minutes every Sunday in the 1980s when I was a teenager--made me think and made me feel connected to the World.
so dumb how interviewer interrupts right when he commented on the son of the CEO at CBS....hate when they do that.
1:50 ***ABC read a retraction on air that everybody knew was false
Extremely scary to know that everyone has a price, no matter how much moral fiber you think you have.
Imagine what he thinks about cbs now and the media as a whole.
Why 60 minutes doesn't do a story on the big oil companies that will kill eventually the auto industry if nothing is done about it?
This exists today all over the world. Especially in Australia.
Thanks incredible
Having watched The Insider, I would certainly like him to read my book, The Trouble With China.
Al Pacino looks better 😐
He might look better to you but this man is a real deal for me i have higher respect him than Al.
Enter the plutocracy.
